So, do we actually get to watch the game tonight on the NHL Network? Not sure what the "in progress" means. But I hope we can watch some of it, as I am curious about Greenway playing center.

Looks like we'll only get the 3rd or part of the 3rd period... Guide says NY vs NJ@7pm and pre season "bonus coverage" beyond that game.

I watched the majority of the 3rd. Looked pretty much like your average AHL game. Not a lot of flow, pretty choppy back and forth. Kloos looked pretty good, but over all pretty tough to come away with anything concrete considering it's the first preseason game with only a couple actual starters.

I also caught the 3rd period, or at least some of it. It was nice to see/hear Justin Kloos' name being mentioned, and not for bad plays. And it was nice to see that the Wild hung on in the game, even though the Wild fielded a team with lower 6 players and the Jets at least had the #1 line along with their #1 Dman in Big Buff.

Although most of what I saw was the Jets playing in the Wild zone, the final score should have been a tie at 1-1, with the Jets 2nd goal not actually crossing the line. But overall, this was just a hockey game and I'm not reading much into it. Was just happy to watch some Wild Hockey.
